Nothing was better than a Sunday baseball game on the radio and looking in the back of the radio to try to see the little guys in there!! I don't think I ever went on a date wearing jeans. Always a skirt or dress (once in a while coulottes) with nylons.

Kids could be out past dark and you didn't have to worry
we played - Kick the can, ditchem , baseball , no video games and parents didn't have to entertain us
corpral punishment was alive and well in schools
school started after Labor Day and was done the first week of June, and you didn't have 2-4 days off a month for teachers in-service
when you wanted to visit with a friend you went to their house

Speaking of soda fountains, my brother and I would walk a mile and a half for a nickel cherry coke, just to have something to do, then walk back home. A 3-Musketeers bar was only a nickel too, and it was big enough to share with a friend.
Gasoline was 39 cents a gallon, and every once in awhile there would be a gas war when my Dad could get gasoline for 19 cents a gallon.
